Another Great Idea

I'm dangerous when I start thinking. The phrase 'what if' gets me into more trouble.

The other day I was on E-Bay - and I picked up on the 'hatching eggs' section.

Seriously, I couldn't resist. I tried, but I kept going back to this one part. They were offering 17 hatching eggs of various species. Potluck - catch as catch can. Whatever was laid that day - I would get 17 of them.

Chicken, duck, goose, turkey, pheasant or -- drum roll -- peacock eggs to be sent to my home for me to attempt to hatch.

I should know better...I'm gambling again. This time it will be more fun - if anything hatches.

I'm hopeless - you know that right?

I wrote this post because my book came back from the editor and I'm too chicken to look at it.

You could live to regret that action if you get a peacock egg and it hatches. Have you heard the racket they make?Still, they make good esating if you roast them slowly and the feathers will look pretty in your hat on Thanksgiving Day.

The blue one might turn out to be a surprise. I wonder how big it was? it could be a duck or maybe a guinea fowl. They too make an awful racket, but are tasty when casseroled or barbecued. Their spotty feathers make wonderful fishing lies too.

The Romance Review

Jordan's Croft

Who is K. A. Jordan?

I am a refugee from the economic disaster known as the Rust Belt. I escaped in 1992 to the Blue Grass of Kentucky, where I make my home to this day. I write contemporary Women's Fiction, and Paranormal Romance novels.
I believe that readers want good stories that appeal to the mind as well as the heart. Which also means a little sizzle between characters is better than pages of 'love scenes'.
Everything on this blog is my opinion - agreement isn't required, I like a good debate.
The Alter Ego of K. A. Jordan is the sometimes infamous, and always quotable, Kat Jordan.
